      Title: Classic Cherries Jubilee
 Categories: Fruits, Citrus, Booze, I scream
      Yield: 6 servings
 
    1/2 c  White sugar
      2 tb Cornstarch
    1/4 c  Cold water
    1/4 c  Orange juice
      1 lb Bing or other dark, sweet
           - cherries; rinsed, pitted
    1/2 ts Fine grated orange zest
    1/4 ts Cherry extract
    1/4 c  Brandy
      3 c  Vanilla bean ice cream
 
  Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a wide
  saucepan. Stir in the water and orange juice; bring to a
  boil over medium-high heat, whisking until thickened.
  Stir in the cherries and orange zest, return to a boil,
  then reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. While the
  cherries are cooking, spoon the ice cream into serving
  bowls.
  
  Remove the cherries from the heat, and stir in the
  cherry extract. Pour in the brandy, and ignite with a
  long lighter. Gently shake the pan until the blue flame
  has extinguished itself. Spoon the cherries over the
  bowls of ice cream.
  
  NOTE ON FLAMBEING: The flames may get quite high when
  flambeing, so pay attention to anything flammable above
  and around where you ignite the cherries. When the
  initial large flame has died down, a small blue flame
  will continue to burn for several seconds. Shake or stir
  the cherries gently to expose more alcohol to the flame,
  being careful that they do not burn. The goal is to have
  the small, blue flame burn for as long as possible,
  thereby reducing the raw alcohol flavor, caramelizing
  the sugars, and entertaining your guests!
